- Okay, so this was a video that I had captured way back in October but had my Hard Drive stolen so I've had to restock on Salmon, then wait for the right conditions, the time and reshoot but finally it’s here.
I know a few of you have been interested in smoking fish and how to do it for awhile, well here it is, its quite hard for me to be really precise on some things because I literally don’t weigh up ingredients and kind of season from experience. This goes for all my cooking (I dont bake so its okay)
Firstly a few things have been done differently in this video because im not smoking at my home, I didn’t have access to my usual salt, glassware and so on. I have never smoked a frozen fish and this was only done due to the amount of Total Fire Bans that had been issued due to recent bushfires around central coast, Sydney and Batemans Bay. This was also a first time for me smoking a brine and a dry rub together. I probably wouldn’t do it again as the flavour transferred from one to the other although still delicious it seems pointless.
That being said it was still a great smoke and I really enjoyed it.
Brine Mix for 500g-1kg of fish
1.5L Warm Water (helps everything dissolve)
250-300g Brown Sugar
500g Kosher Salt
Tea spoon of Onion Powder
Tea spoon of Garlic Powder
3 in 1 Smoker
BBQ Coals
Have your Smoker sit between 80-100 Degrees
Wood Chips
In this Video Cherry and Alder chips were used
Add BBQ Coal and Wood Chips as the Smoke or Heat starts to drop.
Smoke until the internal temp of your fish hits 70 degrees celsius
Plenty of fish go well smoked
Fish with high fat and oil work really well

The shots were taken from numerous dives and I take a variety of fish as I believe it’s the most sustainable way. If I only targeted one or two species like most we would have a significant impact on the stock so diversity is key, it also encourages you to cook and try different methods of prepping fish which is always great for the taste buds.
All fish were of legal size and were speared for consumption, I have a NSW Fishing Licence and abide by catch size limits, daily takes and no fish zones. Over the past 3 years now me and my partner have made the commitment to no longer buy fish so we only eat the fish catch. Spearfishing is the most sustainable form of fishing on the planet, it is also the most environmentally friendly form of fishing.
Let me know what you think of the video in the comments section. Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed the video and don’t be afraid to like, share and subscribe for more Spearfishing/Adventure/Cooking!
Hey my friend, just found you, awesome channel🤘🇦🇺
SAC SA Chillin epic thanks bro!
Top stuff my guy, I tried smoking for the first time, a bream and a couple morwongs. It tastes so much better than pan frying, cant wait to try salmon soon.
Thanks bud, yep it does too hey, what wood did you use, i find smoking way more fun and experimental than your usual pan fry. Kingfish, Salmon and Trevally have been the top 3 but Salmon has to be the most sustainable :)
Looks great mate. Instead of just wasting the brine, next time try using it as your moisture. Works a treat and really gives the full flavor of the ingredients.
Mathew Webeck sounds like a top tip bro thank you I will give it a go!
Great vid mate, I'm going to smoke some tailer and mullet tomorrow.
Epic let me know how you go
Looks delicious 😋
z monsterk thanks bro tasted great!
Great catch and cook, nice channel you have here mate looking forward to future Content !
Thanks bro, i appreciate it!
I love that custom roller haha
Thanks man!
Another great video. I'm no heat beads snob, but I've tried a few premium brands and they do a similar job. I tried the supermarket home brand beads once, thinking they may be comparable. They don't last as long doing what they do.
Yeah i would partially agree i think the supermarket ones can be hit and miss but sometimes they work just as well
Two things I would also do differently would be to put in the clips of you Shooting the fish and i would make a plan of what i am going to say in the Video or a Daniel Man Style voice over could also do the trick.
David Steck good feedback thank you! Yeah may go with a bit of prep before hand, trying to avoid becoming just another Daniel Mann i love his videos but so many people are attempting to do what he already does really well, did you not see the beginning with shooting the salmon that i smoke?
Where’s the spot mate and love the gun
Thanks bro pretty much any rocky headland will produce good fish!
For the music i think a bit more relaxed music would bei better for the spearing montage
Wen u put heat beads inside u must of smoked out your whole kitchen haha
GibboNix Adventures put that fan on absolute max open the nearest window fully and prepare to wave towels like mad!
In New Zealand thats bait your eating lol. Quite weird hows auzzies love it but its a shit fish here lol
wolf ferguson not sure where in NZ you are from but it was kiwis who got me onto smoking Kahawai and you are the first kiwi I’ve heard of who has called it a shit fish lol
@@WetMammal spot on reply
A fellow South Island Kiwi here. Everyone I know loves smoked Kahawai. If you can't be bothered properly bleeding your fish then blame your lazy hands, dude. If done properly, Kahawai is absolutely amazing and versatile fish. Cool video, bro! Don't take BS on board :D Thanks
